BUNNY
PICTURES
Invite your children to try one of the art activities below.

Draw a freeform bunny on a piece of construction paper.
Glue on a cotton ball for a tail and add some green Easter
grass, if desired.

Glue a flat, round, cotton cosmetic pad on a piece
of white paper for a bunny body. Use crayons or markers
to draw a bunny face and ears above the bunny body and
to add other details. Complete by gluing on green Easter
grass.

BUNNY
MASK PUPPETS
For each of your children, select a white paper plate
and cut two round eyeholes out the center part. Let the
children use crayons or markers to draw bunny faces on
their plates, incorporating the eyeholes. Then give them
each two bunny ear shapes cut from heavy white paper to
glue or tape to the top edge of their bunny faces. Finally,
attach a sturdy plastic drinking straw or a craft stick
to the bottom of each bunny face for a handle. Let the
children use their mask puppets when telling bunny stories
or singing bunny songs.

BUNNY
PLATE GAME
Find five paper plates with a picture of a bunny on each
one. Number the plates from 1 to 5. Attach 15 bunny stickers
to 15 small cards. Set out the sticker cards and the plates.
Then let the children take turns reading the numerals
on the plates and placing the matching number of bunny
cards on each one.

BUNNY
TRAILS

On an 8 ½
by 11-inch piece of white paper placed horizontally,
draw a bunny in the lower left-hand corner and
a bunny hutch in the upper right-hand corner.
Draw a simple trail, an inch or so wide, leading
from the bunny to the bunny hutch. Make a duplicated
copy of the paper for each of your children. Show
them how to use a crayon to draw a line inside
the bunny trail from the bunny to his home. When
they have finished, let them color their bunny
trail pictures any way they wish.

BUNNY STORYBOOK

Make up a short story about
a bunny and write it down. Or choose a bunny story that
your children are not familiar with. Ask the children
to listen carefully as you read the story to them. (If
you are using a published story, don’t show the illustrations.)
When you have finished, invite the children to draw pictures
illustrating the story. Then put the pictures together
to make a bunny book for your library corner.

BUNNY
HOPPING GAMES
Let your children take turns playing one or more of these bunny
games.

Roll a die and name the number that comes up. Take
that many bunny hops forward, backward, or around in a
circle.

Stand in an open area. Follow such directions as these:
“Bunnies hop on one foot; Bunnies, hop on the other foot;
Bunnies hop three times forward; Bunnies hop three times
backward.”

Play Follow the Leader, hopping around the room to
music behind a Leader Bunny.

BUNNY SNACKS
Set out carrot and celery sticks plus any other fresh veggies
your children think bunnies would like. Spoon a favorite salad
dressing into small cups. Then let your children use the salad
dressing as a dip while nibbling on the veggies like bunnies.
